and lots will be purchased below the maximums (really!) where competition permits. Bids must be made in
whole dollar amounts. Lots will be sold on the day indicated.

2. Seven (7) % state sales tax will be added to the cost of all lots delivered in Ohio.

3. Mail bid auction sales are not approval sales. No lot may be returned without written permission, and
such permission must be requested within three (3) days after receipt of lots. By submitting your bids
you agree to the Terms of Sale herewith set forth.

4. Bidders unknown to us must supply acceptable credit references or a 25% deposit to assure entry of their
bids.

charge per lot for packing and processing.

6. Terms of sale are strictly cash in United States funds. Foreign payments must be made in U.S. dollars
and all checks must be drawn on United States banks. Payment must be made immediately upon
receipt of invoice or, at our option, upon receipt of material. Because we pay our consignors in no more

remaining unpaid thirty days after the closing date of the sale.

7. Lots to be mailed to addresses not in the United States or its Territories, will be sent only at the risk of
the purchaser. When possible, insurance will be obtained: it must be noted, however, that adequate

FOREWORD

,^?™\AuJieopleaserd Lt0 Pre,sent our eleventh mail-bid sale featuring the numismatic library of DR. KARL F
LUTOMSK1. Some of the highlights in this our largest mail-bid sale to date are listed below in the various’
sections devoted to each of our distinguished consignors. We genuinely believe that this sale contains the
most comprehensive offering of numismatic literature we have yet presented.

years. At various timers, he owned virtually all of the grand Canadian rarities except for the 191! dollar.
Among the highlights of his numismatic library offered here are many of the original works of Breton,
Courteau, Leroux, and McLachlan. A particularly special work is Dr. Anthon’s annotated copy of Alfred
Sandham’s 1869 classic COINS, TOKENS, AND MEDALS OF THE DOMINION OF CAN ADA. Two special items
are the deluxe auction catalogues of the MC KAY-CLEMENTS sale and the GAVER COLLECTION sales The
large offering of the CANADIAN AND ANTIQUARIAN NUMISMATIC JOURNAL offered here are from the

1963 F.U.N. Sale, Kagin’s 1977 A.N.A. sale, the RARCOA N.M. KAUFFMAN sale, and a beautifully bound
volume of priced and named Sotheby sales from the 19th century.

Another consignment from an EASTERN NUMISMATIST contains a deluxe edition of Barney Bluestone’s
GRINNELL sales of paper money; the limited edition photographic plate volume of the Bowers and Merena
FREDERICK TAYLOR collection; and deluxe editions of Stack’s WOLFSON and DI BELLO collections; and
deluxe editions of Superior’s 1972 C.O.I.N, The GILHOUSEN Collection, The RUBY Collection, The 1975 A.N.A.
Collection, The RIO RANCHO Collection, and several others.

We have been featuring nineteenth century auction catalogues in our previous two sales. In the consignment
from the EASTERN NUMISMATIST are over 170 of them highlighted by a plated copy of the Chapmans’
DOHRMAN sale, many Frossard sales highlighted by a plated EDWARDS-H AWLE Y sale, a large offering of
J.W. Haseltine sales in nice condition, and a good offering of Lyman Low, Scott, and Woodward sales.

of Mr. Adams’ consignment is a large offering of ANNUAL REPORTS OF THE UNITED STATES MINT from
1873 onward.

KIRBY BROWN’S consignment is highlighted by this sale’s third large offering of nineteenth century
catalogues. The highlight of the twentieth century offerings here, many more of which will be featured in our
twelfth sale, are a nearly complete set of New Netherlands’ NUMISM A.

Thomas Elder’s 1911 WILLIAM WOODIN sale.

THE CANADIAN ANTIQUARIAN AND ANTIQUARIAN JOURNAL

1. THE CANADIAN ANTIQUARIAN AND NUMISMATIC JOURNAL. 1872-1933. 91 of 110 issues. (1500.00)

BACKGROUND. C-S 447. THE CANADIAN ANTIQUARIAN AND NUMISMATIC JOURNAL (CANJ), the Journal of
the Antiquarian and Numismatic Society of Montreal ranks with THE AMERICAN JOURNAL OF NUMISMATICS
and THE NUMISMATIST as the three most historically significant numismatic journals on the continent.
However many numismatists are unfamiliar both with its importance and its great rarity. Although there are
more complete sets extant of the CANJ than of THE NUMISMATIST - perhaps a total of two dozen - most
complete sets of the CANJ tend to be impounded in various museum and library collections, mostly in Canada.
Consequently, there are notably fewer sets of the CANJ in private hands than there are privately owned
complete sets of THE NUMISMATIST. In fact, we can only be certain of^THKEE other sets in private hands in
the US as opposed to at least 9 privately owned sets of THE NUMISMATIST. As even individual issues
rarely turn up in the market, it is most assuredly a special occasion for such a substantial number of issues
to be offered. This particular set was consigned by an advanced U.S. collector of numismatic literature who
felt it appropriate for it to be included with the Dr. Lutomski’s offering of Canadian numismatic literature.

A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THE CANJ: As numismatics in Canada during the 19th century grew much more
slowly than in the U.S., the CANJ, the journal of The Numismatic and Antiquarian Society of Montreal, was
the focal point for Canadian numismatics until the 1930’s. Its great strength was based upon the impressive
numismatists whose comprised its membership - Sandham, McLachlan, Morin, et al. - and their vision.

To increase membership the Society decided to devote itself also to antiquarian concerns. Consequently, the
CANJ is not exclusively a numismatic journal. However, paraphrasing THE AMERICAN JOURNAL OF
NUMISMATICS’ self-description, the CANJ can be considered to be THE early history of Canadian
numismatics. The only exceptions to this were the various early standard reference works, which generally
had been written by Society members.

The detailed numismatic contents of the CANJ can be found in the June 1989 issue of OUT ON A LIMB, The
Money Tree’s periodical journal. But because of the special nature of this offering, the specific highlights of
each series and the important elements of each of the volumes will be detailed.

CONDITION- THE COVERS: Each of the issues has both covers present, although about 15% may have one or
both disbound. As originally mailed, some of the early issues will have a vertical bisecting fold, from
mailing. Because it was expected that these issues would be professionally bound, the original paper covers
were flimsy and fragile. As time has passed, the original covers have tended to chip. Correspondingly, many
of the issues (especially the early ones) are quite heavily chipped at the backstrip. Again with the
expectation of their being bound, the edges are untrimmed and some of the issues are unopened. A very few
issues may have some waterstaining. The edges of several may have the inkstamp of the University of
Montreal. Or to be brief: "Some covers a bit worn, some early issues once folded, one or two a trifle
waterstained. Generally a Fine run", as described by George Kolbe in the Seventh Joint Kolbe & Spink Auction
Sale, December 10-11, 1988, lot 91.

CONDITION - THE CONTENTS: Generally the contents are sound, clean, and Fine or better. There may be the
occasional internal inkstamp of a previous owner. Consequently, the internal quality of these issues and the
essential soundness of the main portions of the both covers of each issue justify a quality binding for these
issues.

FEATURES:

FIRST SERIES: Volume I (1872) - Volume XIII (1886). Missing 6 issues (Volume V, nos. 3 & 4; Vol VI nos. 3
& 4, Volume XIII, Nos. 3 & 4)

SUMMARY: In our sixth mail bid sale (July 31, 1989), we were fortunate to offer a complete set of CANJ from
the library of Remy Bourne. What we belieye to haye been the first complete set to have been sold at auction
in the United States eventually sold for $3500. Despite there being 19 issues missing from this grouping
this is still one of the largest offerings of the CANJ ever to be offered at mail bid in the United States.

prices ... are about three times the original [*31.50] price.”

This is an Invaluable compendium of research material. Unlike those issued by the United States Mint, Canadian mint
reports, especially the early ones, are extremely scarce. This includes a mimeographed letter from Aaron dated August 27,
1974 detailing publishing information and that as of the date on this letter 88 orders had been received. Scarce and
important .

VF ' (2The°C A produced THE CANADIAN NUMISMATIC BULLETIN for six years before changing the name and format of the
periodical to THE CANADIAN NUMISMATIC JOURNAL in 1956. It may surprise some that there was no national Canadian numismatic
organization until 1950: "It is true that efforts have been made in the past to create both [a national numismatic
publication and a national numismatic organization] but these efforts have met with indifferent success . The Ottawa Coin
Club, formed in 1948, decided at its 1950 annual meeting to reorganize itself as the CNA . The third issue of the BULLtriN

(April 1950) noted that membership was approaching 130 U ) ,

The early issues dealt with Canadian dot coinage, listing the owners of the significant Canadian decimal coinage
rarities and updated membership lists. Featured serially throughout the early issues was Fred Bowman s 'Bibliography of
Canadian Numismatics' . The February 1953 issue contains a marvelous paper by Sheldon Carroll, "A Short History of Canadian
Numismatics”. The October/Noveraber 1953 issue features Fred Bowmans important "Some Outstanding Catalogues of Canadian
Coins". Also included is a 3 part series by E. Kann 'The Story of Chinese Money”. The November 1954 issue has 2 important
articles “Mr. Gerald E. Hart and the Numismatic and Antiquarian Society of Montreal" and "Canadians Active in Building the
AJj. A." The December 1954 issue features "The Copper Coins of the Bank of Montreal". February 1955 noted that the C.N.A.
had just assigned membership number 852. Bound in at the back is the C.N.A. Bulletin Index.

Obviously, while the BULLETIN costs significantly less than the first six volumes of The Numismatist, the C.N.A^
BULLETIN is quite similar in many ways: the debut of the journal of a major national numismatic organization, the limited
membership in the early years, and the change of format after a few years. Remember, as the C.N.A. only had about 100
members at the start, the potential number of completely original sets of the C.N.A. BULLETIN is distinctly limited

NOTE: Volume 2, Number 2 has the appearance of being a carbon copy, although it is on the regular mimeograph paper
Possibly it was just an inferior reproduction. While we believe each of these issues is original and is complete, it is
possible (though we do not believe probable) that there may be a page or so missing.

12. Canadian Numismatic Association. THE C.N.A. JOURNAL. 11 bound volumes from 1960 through 1979. 8vo,
later matching red cloth, gilt. Nearly Mint. (125.00)

The volumes present in these attractive, quality cloth bindings are 1960 and 1961, 1963 to 1966, and 1975 to 1979.

The CHARLTON Standard Guides to Canadian Numismatics.

This was the first standard guide issued for Canadian coins since before the war. Although 3 editions of
Wayte Raymond’s pamphlet on Canadian coins had been reprinted in 1937, 1947, and 1952, they were not as
comprehensive as the Charlton guides. The first seven edition dated from 1952 to 1959 of the Charlton
catalogues are genuinely scarce to rare. Each was issued in a different colored printed card cover. The line
drawings of the tokens are quite useful especially both sides of 47 varieties of the "Bouquet Sous". These
Canadian equivalents to the REDBOOK are only beginning to receive the corresponding attention from
collectors.

the first seven editions. Following this edition, the Charlton catalogue began to be produced in the United States by
Whitman in a light blue hardbound format.

A11 7 previous lots of the James Charlton’s 1959 CATALOGUE OF CANADIAN [& NEWFOUNDLAND!
COINS, TOKENS & FRACTIONAL CURRENCY. (155.00)

The successful bid for this lot must exceed the total of the bids for all of the preceding six lots. This is an
excellent opportunity to acquire a nearly complete set of the scarce first seven editions.

Beginning in 1959, Whitman publishing began producing the Charlton guide under the title STANDARD
CATALOGUE OF CANADIAN COINS TOKENS AND PAPER MONEY. These blue-gray cloth covered books were
similar in size to the Yeoman BLUEBOOK. With Whitman’s distribution, the books were much more widely
available, especially in the United States. Whitman issued them for 11 years from the eighth through the
eighteenth editions.

20. Charlton, J.E. STANDARD CATALOGUE OF CANADIAN COINS TOKENS AND PAPER MONEY. 11 volumes
from the 1960, 8th ed. through the 1970 18th ed. 126 pp. Ills. Vais. Generally VF. (75.00)

Each is autographed by Charlton. The 1967, 15th edition has a strip of cloth missing from the front cover. The covers
for each may show some wear from shelf contact or may some bumped corners. The contents are each bright, clean, and nearly
Mint .

Beginning with the 1971 19th edition, Charlton resumed Canadian publication of his standard guide as
Charlton Publications from Port Carling Ontario and from the 1972 20th edition onward from Toronto. These
octavo, card covered issues were substantially expanded to include many more illustrations, and a wider
coverage of topics such as the token series and paper money.

21. Charlton, J.E. STANDARD CATALOGUE OF CANADIAN COINS TOKENS & PAPER MONEY. 15 consecutive
volumes from the 1971, 19th ed. to the Winter 1982, 33rd ed. Ranging from 128 to 273 pages. Ills. Vais.
Generally Fine to VF. (100.00)

Several of the earlier volumes are autographed with the 1982 33rd edition inscribed from Charlton to Dr. Lutomski.
Several of the pre-1976 issues are sought after for their expanded sections on tokens. Others are important for their
lengthy sections on Canadian paper money. Finding this complete a run of Charlton guides is decidedly unusual.

22. All of the previous lots of Charlton’s STANDARD CATALOGUE OF CANADIAN COINS TOKENS & PAPER
MONEY from the 1952 1st edition to the Winter 1982, 33rd edition (missing only the 1953. 2nd ed.). 32
volumes. (330.00)

The successful bid for this lot must exceed the total of the bids for all of the preceding eight lots. It is quite a
special occasion to be able to obtain a virtually complete run of Charlton sales.

Of this work there were 300 copies printed but only 250 were bound. It was anything but a financial success

While it was offered at the absurdly low price of 75 cts. only about 100 copies were disposed of by sale The

remaining copies were given away.... '

The medals pp 51 66 (excepting 55 to 59) were also prepared from ray pen drawings. They are of interest from
the fact that they are among the first if not the first blocks prepared by what is now known as
photo engraving, which appeared in a printed book. They were popularly known as Leggotypes after Mr W A
Leggo the inventor of the process...

This classic work describes 215 coins and tokens and 42 medals. It also includes a two page appended history of the
Numismatic and Antiquarian Society of Montreal. Incidentally, the Remy Bourne Library of Canadian Numismatic Literature
which we sold in our sixth mail bid sale July 31, 1989 did not have an original copy of this rare work.

During the period when the Charlton series was published by Whitman in the U.S during the '60s, these Canadian
"Redbooks” were the standard guide in Canada, being much more comprehensive than the Whitman "Charltons”. These are of
special value for the extensively illustrated coverage given the token series; for example, the important, especially
durable third edition, spiral bound with wire, devotes over 100 pages to the series, and as such remains actively sought.
Generally, the only apparent wear is that traditionally found on the glossy covers.

The contents include "Second Revised Printings" of the 1961 3rd ed.; 1962, 4th ed.; 1963 5th ed . ; and both varieties
of the 1967 9th ed. - the 116 page spiral bound edition and the 310 page Reraick & James BRITISH COMMONWEALTH COINS
1798-1967, with entire contents of the spiral bound edition bound contained inside.

Beginning with the 1963 fifth edition, British coins from 1800 onward are included in the contents. This
comprehensive a run of this sought after series is quite rarely offered.

THE PERSONALIZED LIBRARY EDITION. Dr. Lutomski' s name in gilt on the front cover. The two sales were conducted in
association with Torex 'll and Torex '88. It is estimated that fewer than 100 copies were bound in this format. That both
PRLs are present is important as the individual PRLs are quite scarce.

Of importance as these two sales contained the Kenneth Gaver Numismatic Library, in addition to important Canadian
coinage. “Very Few devoted numismatists have ever attempted to collect books as did the late K. Gaver of Collector s
Research .... The Dr. K.M. Gaver Library offered in this sale is one of the most extensive ever made available to
collectors in this country.” The library offering totalled 400+ lots.

A QDB award winner covering the "history, art, romance, and investment aspect of coins’. A most readable reference
with excellent material and supporting illustrations. For those of you who have this gathering dust on your shelf, take it
down and read it. This really is marvelous.

COLLECTION. 1979, third printing. 4to, black cloth. 572 pp. Many color and b&w plates. Near Mint. (30.00)

Our choice as the best survey of American numismatics: 19th and 20th century numismatic history, early American
coinage, history of the mint, private and territorial gold. Too often books like this are taken for granted and not really
read. Despite all the trendy, transitory nonsense of precision grading, we really are living in the Golden Age of
numismatic research. Giants like Bowers, Breen, Julian, and Taxay, among others, are generating a true legacy of readable
scholarship.

THE COIN DEALER NEWSLETTER or 'Graysheet' has been the WALL STREET JOURNAL of the coin market
virtually from its beginning. Despite the practical limitations of the sheet, it has served to provide guidance
and a degree of order to the numismatic marketplace. The weekly sheet and the MONTHLY SUMM ARY also
offer analyses of the market with the MONTHLY SUMMARY featuring in each issue a tow page discussion of
one numismatic subject which may be about a coin series, an interview, or a guest column. Despite its vast
subscribership, they tend to be disposed of quite quickly; thus, complete annual sets tend to be elusive, if
not in fact , rare.

Offered below are complete annual sets which consist of either 51 or 52 weekly issues - most years there is
a one week period at the end of the year for which no issue is produced. Although we cannot guarantee that
somewhere an issue may be missing, we believe that each of the volumes are complete, unless otherwise
noted. After listing them individually, we will offer the opportunity obtain all of them in one bid.

While this later edition contains various articles about coin collecting, charts of premiums for US and foreign
coins, and information about ancient and foreign coins, it is not as elaborate as the original edition However, Elder s
zeal for numismatics is witnessed by his producing this work during the Depression.

C-S 13480’ (for the 5th edition onward). This corresponds to the REDB00K for currency collectors. We are beginning to
see currency collectors trying to assemble complete sets of the “Friedberg". This is much nicer than the usual second
edition which turns up.

99. Green, C.E. MINT RECORD AND TYPE-TABLE. UNITED STATES COINS. 1936. 12mo, blue cloth, gilt. 252

Signed and dated by Green on the front f ree-endpaper , 9-7-1938. This listing of mintages for U.S. coins was one of
the forerunners of the REDB00K. Subtitled "Listing the major varieties of all regular issues of United States Coins as
well as^Private Gold, Encased Postage, and Fractional Currency. With illustrations of most types of each series except the
latter." This is a nice copy for a work that normally turns up heavily used replete with checkmarks and annotations.

UNITED STATES COINS. 1979. 221 pp. Ills. VF. (20.00)

The standard reference illustrates virtually all of the 1033 items beginning with the Erie Canal medal of 1826 -
thorough descriptions and explanations. While the valuations are shall we say optimistic, their relative values are of
use. Copies of this are in constant demand.

125. Sheldon. William H. EARLY AMERICAN CENTS. 1949. 8vo, tan cloth. 339 pp. 51 fine pis. Nearly VF.
(75.00)

The forerunner of PENNY WHIMSY along with Crosby's EARLY COINS OF AMERICA are arguably the two most influential
works in the science of American numismatics.

126. Sheldon, William H. with the collaboration of Dorothy I. Paschal and Walter Breen. PENNY WHIMSY. A
Revision of EARLY AMERICAN CENTS. 1958. 8vo, tan cloth. 340 pp. 51 fine pis. The covers are Fine. The
contents are VF. (75.00)

C-S 12341. For some reason unbeknownst to us, this title is in surprising demand for collectors. How can that be?
This is only concerned with "raw" coins. There are no chapters on Investment, telemarketing, or slabbing. Incidentally,
despite the recent release of a new Sheldon reprint, the strong demand for the all pre-1976 editions continues unabated
because of the superior plates in them.

127. Sheldon, William H with the collaboration of Dorothy I. Paschal and Walter Breen. PENNY WHIMSY. A
Revision of EARLY AMERICAN CENTS. 1965 reprint of the 1958 original edition. 8vo, tan cloth. 340 pp. 51
fine pis. VF. (75.00)

C-S 12341. "The 1965 printing of Penny Whimsy is issued in response to the pressure of popular demand. The text is
exactly as printed in 1958 except for corrections of proofreaders errors." Incidentally, it is not generally known that
this edition was printed by Krause Publications.

128. Sigler, Phares O. NUMISMATIC BIBLIOGRAPHY. 1951. 8vo, blue cloth. 189 pp. Nearly VF. (20.00)

C-S 24. Sigler s bibliography contains 3138 entries. We find this quite useful as many of the entries are not even
listed in the 1985 Clain-Stef anelli bibliography. Scarce.

129. Snowden, James Ross (Director of the Mint). A DESCRIPTION OF ANCIENT AND MODERN COINS IN THE
CABINET COLLECTION AT THE MINT OF THE UNITED STATES. 1860. 8vo, three quarter leather and cloth,
five slightly raised bands. 412 pp. 27 plates of coins printed in relief and in metallic tints, marbelled
endpapers and edges. The covers are rubbed at the extremities. The pine a bit more heavily rubbed. The
contents are essentially Fine with the plates showing modest toning. (125.00)

Despite this work being known eponyraously (a "Snowden"), Snowden acknowledged that George Bull, recently put in
charge of the Mint cabinet, assisted by Du Bois, prepared and arranged this book. Also of note, this was the first
occasion that the chroraolithographic process for coloring embossed plates was used in American printing.

130. Taxay, Don. SCOTT’S COMPREHENSIVE CATALOGUE AND ENCYCLOPEDIA OF U.S. COINS, 1971. 1970.
8vo, blue cloth. 400 pp. Ills. VF. (20.00)

Taxay s research and scholarship is invaluable for all series. Of particular note is the information on colonials,
patterns, and seated coinage.

This massive work was a visionary attempt to create a one volume numismatic reference work on world coinage. Although
this is not the original binding, it appears to be have been rebound soon after it was issued. As the original bindings
generally appear damaged because of the vast number of pages, this perfectly sound copy in a beautiful binding is
particularly desirable.

world in relief in their metallic colors. Fine. (175.00)

While the pages and the covers are Fine, the hundreds of 4 x 6 cm. cards are bright and nearly perfect. Several cards
have come unglued but are present. Complete albums of these cards that were premiums in packs of cigarettes are quite
rare. The coins of 64 countries are represented with the U.S. section having 14 cards representing on separate cards the
obverses and reverses of a 1924 120.00, and 1879 810.00, a 1909 15.00, a 1915 12.50, the obverse and reverse of an undated
Morgan dollar, a 1907 half dollar, and three cards with a 1924 quarter, a 1927 dime, a 1928-S nickel, and a 1909 VDB cent.
The quality of the engraved, embossed cards is astonishing. This is the finest of four albums I have seen over the last 15
years. Rare, Important, fascinating, and neat.

because the spine is printed in English with the contents entirely in Finnish, we believe that this work was issued in two

An most important reference sale. Lee s "incomparable" California gold covers 92 pages and 1053 lots catalogued by
Walter Breen with Ron Gilllo. Shaffer s collection of commemorative halves is most useful not only for the superb
coinage, but also for the illustrations of numerous original holders and mailing envelopes. Other items of note include an
EF 1802 half dime, excellent bust and seated half dimes and dimes, 56 bust dollars with 2 1794s, the CHAN AND DYANE DE

"Roger 0. Pierce" in gilt on the bottom of the front cover. Limited to 500 copies, this was the first of the
reprints, and the scarcest. This is a really nice copy. The cloth is bright and clean, and the gilt is bright

217. Crosby, Sylvester Sage. EARLY COINS OF AMERICA. 1965 TAMS reprint of the 1875 original. 4to,

C-S 15063V This handsome, scholarly opus should be read by all numismatists, not merely medal collectors. The work
begins with an excellent general history of the topic. In addition to illustrating and thoroughly cataloguing each issue,
narrative text about each medals is provided. Mr. Julian is among the best of the contemporary numismatic scholars

quarto, red pebbled cloth , gilt. 280 pp. Ills. 11 pis. VF. (35.00)

We believe this to have been produced by Superior, and if so, This bound annual edition including the scarce June
1975 World Coins supplement is probably a special deluxe edition.

Fine. The contents are better. (25.00)

This REDB00K forerunner was produced in this format at least through 1941. It is subtitled, “showing prices on
practically every coin Issued by the United States Mint and the different Branches, in GOOD, FINE, and UNCIRCUALTED
condition, also in PROOF condition wherever proofs are known; including PRIVATE ISSUES of gold, PAPER FRACTIONAL CURRENCY,
and ENCASED POSTAGE STAMPS. In additon it gives the number of pieces coined, which figures have been carefully compiled
from REPORTS of the DIRECTOR of the MINT.” The illustrations are line drawings. Copies of this work are quite elusive,
especially in nice condition.

brown cloth covers. 195 pp. Ills. The gilt is muted. The covers are VG. The contents are clean and nearly VF.
(20.00)

"This edition includes the COLONIAL COINS of the UNITED STATES, and these have been fully illustrated and priced
according to the various grades of condition." Wallis noted in the Preface that the prices of gold coins had gone up
“considerably" because of the government s having called in gold coins. This edition does list the 1933 120.00 as
cataloguing at 142.50 in unc. while most common 120. 00s were listed at 140.00 in unc . , and for comparison the 1930-S
120.00 was listed at 145.00 in unc. Wallis was the owner of California Stamp Company in Los Angeles which had moved to
Hollywood as noted in this edition.

THE DELUXE LIBRARY EDITION. Gilhousen s collection was used as collateral for an unsuccessful mining venture in the
1920 s. In the 1930 s Edwards H. Metcalf acquired the collection through foreclosure and a bequest. Metcalf was the actual
consignor of this collection. (The foregoing information came from the important Jack Collins sale of July 4, 1987.) This

A Significant Offering of Nineteenth Century American Auction Catalogues

A Rare Plated Copy of the Chapmans’ DOHRM AN Sale.

239 Chapman, S.H. & H. [Sale 21] Collection of Minerals of A. DOHRM AN, Esq.. December 13-15, 1886. 8vo,

later beige cloth, gilt. 55 pp. 1137 lots. 9 artotype plates. The original front cover is missing although the
central part of the original cover has been mounted on a blank back cover from another Chapman catalogue.
The contents are a trifle discolored at the periphery. Each of the plates has a crescent waterstain on the

bottom corner of about 2 square inches. Otherwise the plates are clean and problem-free. (250.00)

Adams, C+. This is not a numismatic auction sale. Adams indicates that this sale was also issued with 10 plates.
Quoting from the Preface, "This will be the first sale by auction of a really important private [mineral] collection in
the country." and "We have published an edition of 100 copies of the catalogue with nine artotype plates, showing 73
specimens. It will be the first time such a catalogue has been thus illustrated.' Also, Whilst looking at the plates, we
would advise the viewer to sit with his back to the light and allow it to fall on the plate. The quality later cloth
binding has the look of an Alan Grace achievement. Although the Chapmans indicated that 100 plated copies were produced,
we believe that many less than that number were distributed. This is much rarer than many other plated Chapman sales of
which 100 copies were produced.

EDOUARD FROSSARD, born in Switzerland, came to the U.S. in 1858. His first achieved numismatic
prominence as editor of Scott’s Coin Journal in 1876. He began Numisma, his legendary periodical, in 1877
upon opening his own business. His famous work, Monograph of United States Cents and Half Cents Issued
Between the Years 1793 and 1857, was released in 1879. Frossard, frequently involved in controversies,
issued 175 auction catalogues from 1878 through 1901. Although his particular specialties were classical and
European coinage, he conducted important sales in all numismatic areas.

An Large and Important Offering of HASELTINE Auction Catalogues

JOHN W. HASELTINE (1838-1924) was an expert in colonial and Continental currency, and Confederate
currency (publishing descriptive lists for each of the aforementioned series), early silver coinage, and mint
patterns. His numismatic contributions were manifold: uncovering the Nova Constellatio 1000 and 500 mill
pieces, and the New Jersey Washington cent, discovering the 1861 Confederate cent dies, authoring the
venerable Haseltine Type Table, and in 1883 conducting both the classic Harold Newlin sale and the
legendary sale of Sylvester Crosby’s colonials. He conducted 85 auctions between April 1870 and January
1885. In the May 1885 NUMISMA Ed. Frossard announced 'the sudden suspension' of Haseltine’s business. (p.
6) Haseltine had relocated to New York to manage his brother’s art gallery until his return to Philadelphia
and the coin business in 1897. (THE NUMISMATIST, October/November 1908, p. 349) Haseltine did conduct
two other sales: June 1887 and June 1898. E.J. Attinelli said of Haseltine that he 'seldom, if ever,
overrates and more frequently underrates the quality of the pieces he describes, and still more frequently

Page 26

makes no mention of their quality or rarity....* (p. 54) The respect that his colleagues had for Haseltine was
indicated by his being elected to an honorary membership at the 1908 A.N.A. convention in Philadelphia.

General Comments about Condition. Adams commented that because of the poor quality of the paper in which
the Haseltine catalogues were issued that their 'continuing survival becomes an issue'; the low quality of
the paper cannot be overemphasized. Again, for these catalogues one can assume that the covers will be
slightly soiled with moderate chipping at the backstrip; noteworthy differences in catalogue condition will be
indicated. Generally, these are in excellent condition for Haseltine sales. Because of a difference between
Gengerke and Adams in the numbering of the Haseltine sales, we will use Gengerke’s numbering since
Gengerke lists the sales in chronological order.

cent. The ‘rare' patterns offered in this early sale were indicative of the irregular practices of the Mint and its cozy
relationship with various collectors and dealers, Haseltine prominent among them. Despite Adams rating this an R-7
catalogue (4 to 12 known), we have found this sale to notably more common and would perhaps consider it to be even an R-S.

The attention of collectors is especially directed to the following pieces, many of which are exceedingly rare and
some have never been offered before at either Public or Private sale. I have never seen duplicates of the following

Although Adams lists the Eighty-Sixth sale as taking place June 13, 1887, this sale is clearly labelled as the
Eighty-Sixth sale, as noted in Gengerke. This sale is entirely non-numismatic , containing only stone implements and Indian
relics. Although it is non-numismatic, it is required for completion of the Haseltine series. This catalogue is also
extremely elusive.

LYMAN HAYNES LOW, (1845-1924), became actively involved in numismatics in 1878 soon after finding a
large number of foreign coins in circulation while he was on a vacation in Minnesota. He began to attend
auctions in New York upon his return. In 1883 he became a full time coin dealer. After being in business by
himself through the middle of 1887, he became the manager for Scott Stamp and Coin Company until 1896.
Additionally, Low was a co-editor of THE AMERICAN JOURNAL OF NUMISMATICS from 1891 to 1906. His
published reference on Hard Times tokens was the first significant standard reference for the field, and
remained so for many years.

Adams noted about Low catalogues that 'These are characterized by painstaking descriptions, exceptionally
conservative grading and a wealth of background commentary.' (p. 126)

Adams indicated that Low conducted a total of 212 auctions between 1882 and 1924 giving him the credit for
the 14 auctions conducted by Scott Stamp and Coin during his employment there. Although Low’s areas of
special expertise were tokens, foreign copper coinage, medals, and Latin American coinage, his catalogues
featured much quality U.S. coinage in all series. Despite the large number of sales he conducted, we have
found Low sales to be by far the most elusive of all of the major dealers who were his contemporaries. For
Low sales, this is considered a larger offering.

With the possible exception of the Haseltine catalogues, we have found that Low catalogues are the most
difficult to find in nice condition because of the "ordinary" paper (as John Adams called it) which was used.
As usual when Low sales appear, the light blue paper covered, small format sales typically have faded,
chipped, worn covers. The covers also tend to be nearly or completely separated from the contents as
although the contents were stapled together, the covers were merely glued at the backstrip. Thus, over time
most of the covers have come unglued. The contents, however, do tend to be sound and clean. Unless
indicated otherwise, the Low catalogues offered below can be assumed to look like the foregoing
descriptions. Problem-free, choice Lyman Low catalogues are distinctly rare.

In our tenth mail bid sale, many of the classic catalogues from Remy Bourne were originally from the Hills
collection. Hills had his catalogues bound into various volumes by dealer. In the years since most of the Hills
volumes were disbound into individual catalogues. Most of the Low sales offered here were formerly from
the J.C. Hills library.

JOHN WALTER SCOTT, "The Father of American Philately", was unsuccessful in his initial attempt to start
the first U.S. stamp dealership upon his having emigrated from England at 18 circa 1863. Nevertheless he did
conduct the first U.S. stamp auction in May 1870. Of numismatic importance, he published THE COIN
COLLECTOR’S JOURNAL (CCJ)from 1875 to 1888. Scott arguably can be given the credit for truly expanding
the horizons of American numismatics from its limited eastern roots to its being a truly national hobby as
the CCJ became the first nationally successful American numismatic periodical, largely because of his
national philatelic mailing list. Also of numismatic importance was Scott purchasing the reverse die of the
Confederate half dollar, after which he created and distributed the Confederate half dollar restrike.

Regarding the numismatic auction catalogues issued under the Scott name, David Proskey catalogued most
of the sales until 1886, with Lyman Low cataloguing those from 1888 through 1896." The catalogues which
Scott occasionally wrote during the Proskey/Low period were mediocre as Scott’s true expertise was
philatelic.

Adams, A+. Adams/Attinelli , R-4. Perhaps one measure of the importance of this sale is that it was selected to be
t,ho0ardus,t C0Ver °f the 1976 Quarterman reprint of Attinelli, A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF AMERICAN NUMISMATIC AUCTION
CATALOGUES 1828 1875. As an indicator of the breadth of this magnificent collection, Adams gave this sale an "A" rating in
11 different categories - the only U.S. category for which this catalogue did not receive an "A“ was in tokens

Highlights: "finest" proof 1797 half; unc 1804 quarter; 1823 & 1827 quarters. 1802 half dime (then only 3 were
known). 94 lots of superb large cents: 1799 "best ever offered"; 1804 "probably finest"; "best known 1807"; 1821, 1822 &

of cheating a prominent collector". Excellent early gold. 300 lots of important Washingtonia with a complete set of 6
Seasons medals.

Also of note is that the last 342 lots consists of Woodward's collection of auction catalogues, circulars and
pamphlets. Of particular importance are Woodward s notations of the rarities and variant editions. This catalogue was one
of the key references for numismatic bibliophiles well into the 20th century. Arguably it was the most important sale
conducted before 1865.

recommendation to Andrews' work. Afterward Woodward skewers Frossard' s 1879 monograph.

Frossard responded to Woodward's attack in his May 1881 issue of NUMISMA by indicating that Woodward bought up all of
the remaining issues of the 1881 Andrews before publishing his review. Frossard then noted that the 1881 Andrews was
originally intended to be sold for 25c or to be given free to his friends, but then was bringing "as much as 14.50."

Number l)to March 15, 1975 (Volume IX, Number 2). In 3 binders. Fine and better. (100.00)

The first 6 issues are one-sided photocopies. 2 other issues are photocopied - Volume III, Number 6 and Volume V,
Number 4. Another issue is present in photocopy, but is a duplicate of a regular copy which is present. The missing issues

are Volume V, number 5; Volume VI, Number 2; Volume VI, Numbers 5 & 6; and Volume VII, Number 4.

The issues are generally inserted from back to front in the binders, although some issues are bound out of order.

The purchaser will want to remove these from the binders and reinsert them in the correct order. NOTE: we believe that
each issue is complete, but as there are nearly 2000 pages here, we cannot guarantee it to be so. We noted a comment in

the earlier issues that only 175 original copies were produced in the early years

Since 1967 there has been no more vital nor more important numismatic periodical anywhere than PENNY-WISE The
bi-monthly has been at the forefront of research for collectors of large cents and half cents. The issues contain
scholarly articles, basic information, discoveries of new varieties , controversy, humor, good fellowship, observations of
the numismatic scene, reminiscences, and my favorite - Denis Loring s annual A.N.A. convention diary. Individual issues of
this Journal are so coveted that it truly is an occasion when any significant number becomes available. Although one does
not have to be a copper enthusiast to be enthralled by these issues, it is virtually impossible not to become one after
reading these. These issues will be eagerly sought after.

Most of the 285 cents were census coins. "Not only does this group rank well above all of our early copper sales,

catalogued with thorough provenancing . 14 of the plates show both sides of 210 cents. This is a core sale for the large

C-S 12352. This revised edition contained many new die varieties and additional historical information. In addition
to being a die variety guide like Bolender, Overton, and Sheldon, this includes background of the coinage; the minting
process; cleaning, grading, and photographing dollars; and the GSA sale of Carson City dollars.

I have never understood why the collecting of Morgan dollars by die variety has not reached the frenzy of the large
cent and bust halves. There are over 1000 different varieties. They are a ninety percent silver coin. Virtually every
dealer has circulated silver dollars for sale for less than *10.00; some have thousands of them. Dealers do not check for
varieties. It seems that this is untapped field that can provide a great deal of enjoyment with virtually no downside
risk.

Selected. Duplicates from the Holdings of JOHN W. ADAMS

EDWARD COOAN [1803-1884], 'our first coin dealer, has been called the father of U.S. coin collecting.'
(Adams, p. 17). Born in England, he came to the U.S. when he was 50 opening a business in books and
paintings. One of Cogan’s friends interested h im in assembling a complete set of large cents. It is worthy of
note that the 'father of U.S. coin collecting' did not start to collect until he was 53 and did not have his first
sale until he was 55. Joseph Levick in the November 1868 AMERICAN JOURNAL OF NUMISMATICS noted that
in the late 1850’s local collectors and those visiting from other cities used to gather regularly at Cogan’s
shop in Philadelphia 'to see what was to be seen and learn any news that might be stirring in the numismatic
world.' (p. 55) Cogan’s vitality can be shown by his having conducted his 70 sales between the ages of 55 and
76.

His specialties were early silver, large cents, half cents, colonials, and patterns. Of importance, Cogan
issued the first American catalogue with photographic plates - the June 23, 1869 Mortimer MacKenzie sale.
Following are 46 of the 70 sales catalogued by Cogan: post-sale priced copies, rare sales, some unopened
copies, and many important sales.

In the May 1884 NUMISMA Ed. Frossard wrote of Cogan:

Quick to perceive the quality of coins, of an impartial and unbiased disposition, his coin sale
catalogues ... were always considered as most reliable [and] his descriptions unquestioned. Many of
our best collections were ... the result of his good taste, fidelity, [and] reliability. To show the high
esteem in which Mr. Cogan was held by our best collectors, ... he was made an honorary member of the
American Archaeological and Numismatic Society, an honor never before or since conferred on a coin
dealer, (p. 4)

Adams , B. Adams/Attlnelli, R-7. According to Attinelll, Alfred Sandham, the famous Canadian numismatist and author
of the classic 1869 reference COINS, TOKENS, AND MEDALS OF THE DOMINION OF CANADA, probably owned and catalogued the
collection. Surprisingly only 33 lots of Canadiana are offered, but some are of great significance: the gold "Beaver Club

"probably the rarest coin of the whole Canadian series". Much quality ancient Greek and Roman coinage 270 lots of English

Adams, B-. Rather peculiarly, only the large cents lots are priced. Since this is an historically important sale for
the 1817 and 1818 ‘Randall hoard" cents in bulk lots - "all cents ... have not been injured by circulation, but by
corrosion from being kept in the damp" - the pricing of these hoard cents is significant. Mintmarked silver. 1799 large

Relative to the Randall hoard cents Frossard noted that "In the sale, several remaining lots of the date 1818, bright
and uncirculated, sold at the fair average of 17 per hundred." (Ed. Frossard. NUMISMA, July 1878, p. [5])

Washington Benevolent Society medal in silver.

OF NOTE; For many years in the U.S. the so-called "American system" was used to indicate the diameter of coins. This
was a 4 inch bar divided into 64 units. For example a current small cent would be a size 12. However, in this sale Cogan
introduced the "Metric Coin Scale" for indicating the diameter of coins in millimeters. Apparently W.B. Whetmore must have
suggested the concept as his name is printed following "Metric Coin Scale".

An Important Offering of ANNUAL REPORTS OF THE UNITED STATES MINT

The following paragraph about the annual reports of the United States Mint was contained in George Kolbe’s
eleventh sale, June 11-12, 1982, on page 73. We gratefully acknowledge h is permitting us to reprint the

following excerpt.

The April 2, 1792 act establishing the Mint required that 'in the month of January of every year he
(the Director) of the mint shall make report to the President of the United States of the operations of
th mint, and its branches for the year preceding.' The Act of February 21, 1857 'directs the annual
report of the mint shall extend to the 30th of June in each year.' The Act of February 12, 187 3
provided 'that the Mint of the United States is hereby established as a Bureau of the Treasury
Department.' From 1873 to the present, reports have been issued by the Treasury Department as
separate successive yearly publications.

In addition to the vast quantity of statistical data found within each volume, most of the issues also feature
articles detailing with practices and policies of the Mint and its branches, the Assay offices, use of dies,
development of new coinage, and monetary issues.

Most of the reports offered here from after 1884 are octavo, bound in matching black cloth, with the titles in
gilt. Unless otherwise noted the covers are VG, with the contents being Fine.

In our previous sale, we offered a large number of these reports and were frankly surprised at the large
number of bidders who sought them. In fact, several of the bidders subsequently chastised us for being
surprised.

533. MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES TRANSMITTING A REPORT OF THE
DIRECTOR OF THE MINT FOR THE YEAR 1819. March 11, 1820. 12mo, self -covered. 6 pp. Removed from a
bound volume. The heavy rag content paper is foxed and chipped. (25.00)

The mint report is one page of text and a one page chart produced by R. Patterson, perhaps the last brief report
ever to come out of Washington. Quite scarce.

534. United States Government. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF THE MINT for the Fiscal Year
Ended June 30, 1873. 1873. 8vo. 120 pp. The covers and The title page are missing. Except for the last page
which is chipped, worn, and soiled, the contents are complete and clean but disbound. A reading copy. (10.00)

The text includes brief sections about the history of U.S. coinage, the text of laws relating to U.S. coinage
enacted during the past year, a section about "a fraud on our gold coins", and communications regarding the coinage of
individual European countries.

535. United States Government. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF THE MINT TO THE SECRETARY OF
THE TREASURY for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 1879. 1879. 141 pp. 8vo, original maroon cloth, gilt. The
covers are VG. The contents are Fine. (25.00)

Much of the narrative is correspondence between the U.S. and officials of various foreign countries concerning their
respective banking and monetary practices.

536. United States Government. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF THE MINT TO THE SECRETARY OF
THE TREASURY for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 1884. 1884. Original black cloth , gilt. 129 pp. The spine is

Bound in is a small printed piece of paper "With the Compliments of Horatio C. Burchard, Director of the Mint.” "The

Twentieth Century U.S. Numismatic Auction Catalogues

This is the third sale in which we have featured nineteenth century auction catalogues. Beginning with our
next sale which will close after A.N.A. sale in August, we will be featuring early twentieth century auction
catalogues. With the imminent release of the second volume of John Adams’ work on American auction
catalogues which will deal with those of the twentieth century, we anticipate a renewed focus on them. To
whet your appetites, we are offering here a few tasty morsels here.

The New Netherlands sale prior to sale 34 are decidedly scarce to rare. While their content or cataloguing is
not up to the quality of the later John Ford and Walter Breen efforts, their elusiveness makes any offering a
special occasion.

extensive text and original research and observations by John Ford and Walter Breen. 15 of the numbers contain mail-bid
sales according to Remy Bourne's AMERICAN NUMISMATIC SALES AND INFORMATIONAL LITERATURE. Complete runs are most
infrequently offered and are always in demand. NUMISMA represents the epitome of the genre.

With sale 9, the firm s name was changed as Charles Wyatt established his own firm. Ponterio s sales continued to
feature excellent world coinage, and Mexican coinage, medals, and paper money, but also added ancient coins . Several of
his auctions were held with major conventions: C.O.I.N. '84, New York International 1984 featuring Mexican proclamations,
C.O.I.N. 86 featuring the Frank Grove Collection of Mexican coins, C.O.I.N. '88 featuring the Norman Robbins collection
of Spanish colonial coins and THe Slocum collection of Latin-American crowns, C.O.I.N. '89 featuring Part I of the Witte
Museum collection and the Sergio Torres Martinez collection of Mexican coins. Sale 34 also featured the Ernesto Torres
collection of Mexican coins.

Ponterio s catalogues serve as excellent resource guides for world and ancient coinage in general, and for Mexican
numismatic material specifically. It is quite unusual to be able to offer so many catalogues, especially with the PRLs.

Virgil Brand is one of the great names in twentieth century American numismatics. His legendary status has
been definitively chronicled in Q. David Bowers 1983 VIRGIL BRAND: The Man and His Era. Profile of a
Numismatist. After Brand’s death in 1926, his collection was split between Armin and Horace Brand. Jane
Brand Allen received these coins from her father Armin. The executors of Mrs. Allen’s estate selected
Sotheby’s to auction these coins which took 10 sales held between July 1982 and October 1985. Each of the

MUSEUM NOTES, the Journal of the American Numismatic Society have been issued periodically since 1948
and annually since 1966. Each journal contains at least 20 extremely interesing articles, notes and die

Numismatic Notes and Monographs (NNMs) were first issued by the American Numismatic Society in 1920. In
16mo from NNM-1, they changed to octavo starting with monograph 110 (Noe’s Oak Tree Coinage of
Massach usetts). All have tan card covers. The 160+ monographs written by prominent numismatists cover thT
full range of numismatic topics, eras, and locales although there is a heavy emphasis on ancient coinage. The
NNMs below are each Fine or better, unless noted. Also, most of these will have the neat bookplate of the
previous owner on the inside cover. Many scarce and important monographs are included. They will be listed

Auction Sales of NUMISMATIC LITERATURE

Auctions of numismatic literature are not only exciting ways of acquiring new treasures for one’s library.
Also they are of inestimable importance as references for the biblioph ile: as numismatic bibliographies, as
reference sources, and as records of value with prices realized lists. Consequently, it is quite unusual to
find any significant quantity of these invaluable references coming to auction; collectors just do not want to
part with them.

Sale 3, Numismatic Literature Mail Bid Sale: May 16, 1987. 48 pp. 1065 lots. John, the long-time
Secretary/Treasurer of the Numismatic Bibliomania Society, is one of America's most knowledgeable and
authoritative experts of numismatic literature. His expertise is exceeded only by his being a gentleman of
unquestioned integrity. They just don’t come any better than this man. Mostly American auction catalogues with
much important narrative text. The strength of this sale is Bergman’s narrative text accompanying American
numismatic periodicals. Incidentally the cover is a pencil drawing by Mr. Bergman’s father of a banquet given
by Thomas Elder at one of his auctions.

Jack who is a most knowledgeable numismatist especially about colonials, large cents, and half cents is also an
expert numismatic photographer - perhaps exemplified by his having done the photography for Breen s half cent book, among
many other catalogues. Further, Jack, a long-time collector and expert about numismatic literature, was one of the
founders of the Numismatic Bibliomania Society. The 2 catalogues he issued offered excellent and classic American
numismatic literature. His second catalogue is an unparallelled reference work on American auction catalogues

CAL WILSON conducted 18 auctions and mail-bid sales of numismatic literature between December 8, 1981
and June 4, 1988. His sales ran the entire gamut of numismatic literature - from the great rarities to the
commonplace. His major expertise was on the American references. However, he also sold much important
foreign and ancient literature. Wilson’s auctions also featured narrative text which were most helpful and
instructive especially for the classic American books, auction catalogues, and periodicals.

Wilson’s sales averaged 56 pages and 1000 lots. 11 of the catalogues offered below are small format with tan

(except for sale 2 which has red) card covers. Sale XVII is a large format sale. 10 of the sales below have the
original PRLs tipped in. This is a most important reference offering.

831. Muscalus, Dr. John. 52 Different Monographs about Paper Money Written from 1939 to 1978. A few are

Dr. Muscalus monographs about paper money have been extremely valuable sources of information since his first
article appeared in the April 1935 issue of the NUMISMATIST. Each monograph is devoted to one thematic aspect of currency
such as AN INDEX OF STATE BANK NOTES THAT ILLUSTRATE PRESIDENTS written in 1939, A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF HISTORIES OF SPECIFIC
BANKS written in 1942, and STATE-OWNED BANKS, THEIR PET BANKS, AND THEIR BANK NOTES written in 1940.

His individual monographs deal with a variety of themes: religious figures, famous Americans, famous writers, famous
paintings, scrip, ships, railroads, ad infinitum. In the Winter 1989 issue of THE ASYLUM, The Quarterly Journal of the
Numismatic Bibliomania Society, Ray Bisordi s definitive bibliography, "The Works of John Muscalus" was published. [If
you are not a member of the NBS, you are missing a lot of similarly valuable articles. By the way, the President of the
NBS is a wonderful human being and a snappy dresser.] Dr. Muscalus published 82 titles from 1935 to 1978, several
appearing in the NUMISMATIST, the NUMISMATIC SCRAPBOOK, and the COIN COLLECTOR S JOURNAL. He published 20 monographs from
1935 to 1949, of which 5 are offered here. 3 more were published in 1951 and 1959, 2 offered here. He, then, became more
active publishing 57 monographs from 1964 to 1978, of which 45 are offered in this group.

Although the individual monographs are in a variety of sizes, they tend to be octavo with card covers and
well-illustrated. Each consists of from 4 to 40 pages, generally averaging about 10 pages. This is an extraordinary
opportunity to acquire a majority of these titles which rarely appear in any significant quantity. These are generally
nice, clean copies which came from the Muscalus estate.

affiliated with it. An interesting supplementary chapter is entitled "Cricket in Central Africa" - “And so we finally
finished up only one run with one wicket to fall, amidst the most laughing encouragement it has ever been my good fortune

to cause. Ten bals received, of which I missed two, and a score of 40 not out. And that's the sort of cricket we get in

Central Africa." [Where s Vin Scully when we need him?]

Th reference covers the history of coinage from its earliest times through the coinage of Charlemagne. It requires a
sophisticated reading knowledge of French. The contents are printed on paper with a heavy rag content; thus they are still
quite readable without any risk of brittleness. These two volumes would benefit from the binder s art.

These were distributed by the ABNC to certain VIPs and stockholders; they were not sold. Despite this being a history
of the ABNC from 1795 to 1958, the major appeal of the book is the superb vignettes representing the epitome of the craft;
all the presidents through Eisenhower, 22 foreign dignitaries (Schweitzer, Marti, Sun Yat-Sen, Juarez), 20 prominent
Americans (Edison, Daniel Webster, Franklin, Robert E. Lee, Hamilton), 9 of architecture (Statue of Liberty, Notre Dame,
the Acropolis), trains, ships, allegories (reminiscent of Educational Notes), and styles of currency. Always in demand
deservedly.

lists of the bank presidents, cashiers, directors, documents for the establishment of the bank, the stockholders of the

Sales 29, 30, 32, and 35, the numbering system continuing from the Johnson & Jensen series, a grouping of which are
offered below. These sales average 100 pages and 1300 lots. These profusely illustrated, heavily annotated, illustrated
sales of art medals have become heavily sought reference material. Because they were not issued on high quality paper
there is some fading or wear. This is an important offering for the collector or researcher of medals.

As collectors (and investors) have become attentive to full-band Mercury dimes and full-bell line Franklin halves,
this organization is concerned with the number of steps visible on Monticello on the reverse of Jefferson nickels. Each
volume consists of 11 issues with the August -Sept ember (generally) issue being a combined issue. Each issue averages 30
pages and consists of articles about full-step Jefferson nickels and current numismatic news. ALSO this lot contains the

PRLs are included for sales 15/16, 23, and 24. The sales averaged 75 pages and 1200 lots. These were the last 12
sales of the firm. These profusely illustrated, heavily annotated, illustrated sales of art medals have become heavily
sought reference material. Because they were not issued on high quality paper, there is some fading or wear. This is an
important offering for the collector or researcher of medals. The last time we were able to offer any significant number
of these sales was in our 7th mail bid sale where they were sought after by many, bringing substantially over estimate.

Descriptions and enlarged illustrations of counterfeit gold coins juxtaposed with a legitimate example of gold coins
issued by the U.S., France, Germany, Great Britain, and Switzerland. This work has become elusive complete as the U.S.
section is frequently missing. This particular copy has each of the pages inserted in a clear plastic sheet Thus, this

front cover is soiled and stained, otherwise VF. (85.00)

While this profusely illustrated history of the B.E.P. is most readable and quite important, the major appeal of
this work is due to the two B.E.P. steel engraved plates bound in; one with color vignettes of each of the 4 homes of the
B.E.P. since 1862, and the other of Abraham Lincoln. In fact, these engravings are so sought after that after removing
them, the book was thrown out. The Lincoln engraving sells for 175.00 and up; the B.E.P. buildings engraving sells for
150.00 and up.

Quoting from Jeff Rock s "Books about U.S, Silver and Gold Coins Prior to 1837 and Pioneer and Territorial Gold"
printed in THE ASYLUM Volume VIII, No. 4, Winter 1990, p. 7:

A modern rarity, this soft-cover book consists of twenty-four lessons on coinage, with an emphasis on minting
fundamentals, error coins, and blundered dies.... Much of the abundant information in this book was previously
unpublished. This booklet is extremely difficult to locate; I have never seen a copy in an auction, and my
copy cost over #50.00 a decade ago. If it does appear at auction it should sell for 150.00 to 175.00.

Reprint. 8vo, blue cloth, gilt. Mint, in the original shipping box. (30.00)

The early issues of this periodical are quite scarce necessitating this quality reprint. The early issues contain an
Invaluable compilation of information for the collector, and convey a sense of joy in collecting this wonderful form of
Numismatica Americana.

935. Frossard, Ed. NUMISM A. 1983 RAMM Communications reprint. 8vo, tan card covers, GBC (black plastic
circular binding). Approximately 500 pp. VF. (100.00)

C-S 765. Number 41 of 100 numbered copies. Perhaps the liveliest American numismatic periodical ever, Frossard
produced 10 volumes of NUMISMA from 1877 to 1891 consisting of 60 numbers in 59 issues. The first nine volumes were issued
b-monthly with the final volume being issued over a five year period.

Frossard began NUMISMA after having served as the editor for the first year of Scott's COIN COLLECTOR'S JOURNAL.
NUMISMA is particularly important for being an authoritative record of American numismatics from the period between 1876
where Attlnelli a NUMISGRAPHICS left off and the late 1880's and early 1890 s with the beginning of the NUMISMATIST

Page 88

Primarily devoted to American numismatics, the monographs also included topics on ancient and foreign coins and medals. A
few specific articles were 'The Starred Cent, 1794", a series on Sutlers checks, "French-American Colonial Jetons", "U.S.
Pattern Coins. Their Illegal issue and Sale, and the Ineffectual Efforts of Numismatists to Check If, and "Early Days of
the United States Mint." 7

Possibly, its greatest value consists of the detailed accounts the contemporary numismatic scene, detailed accounts
of auction sales of the time, book reviews, "Numismatic Gossip", proceedings of numismatic societies, and Frossard s
uninhibited views of his contemporaries.

We believe that no more than 10, and probably several less, complete original sets exist. In 1983, George Kolbe sold
a complete original set in the Ted Craige sale for $1700 plus 10% on a $1250 estimate. In 1983 Remy Bourne reprinted 100
copies which were sold through Cal Wilson for $128. We were fortunate to obtain the last 30 copies earlier this year which
we subsequently had rebound in brown cloth. Remy authorized us to sell them for $96. We announced their being available in
our June 1990 issue of OUT ON A LIMB. They were sold completely sold out within 2 weeks leaving many people disappointed
whose orders could not be filled.

We can only account for 3 of the GBC bound copies coming on the secondary market since 1983, testimony to how dearly
they are valued. We have found our copies to be of inestimable value and irreplaceable. Consequently, as both original
sets of NUMISMA and even copies of this reprint in either format are also are virtually unobtainable, this is quite a
special opportunity to acquire a copy of this classic periodical. Because of the continuing demand for this reprint and
because copies just do not come to the marketplace, we really would not be surprised to see this GBC bound reprint sell
for much more than our estimate.

C-S 796 The print run for each 1936 issue was between 250 and 350. The small issues of his first two years (1935 &
1936) are so scarce that Hewitt reprinted them in 1961. Among the contents of the issues are serial reprints of chapters
from Doughty on the cents of 1804 to 1811. The 1935 and 1936 issues were distributed free. These early issues are scarce,
especially in such nice condition.

While we were aware of Jerry s work, we were pleasantly surprised when he phoned us a few weeks ago and asked If he
could drop by the office. We were equally astonished when during his most enjoyable visit we learned that he has always
lived only about fifteen minutes from our office.

944. Loubat, J [oseph ] F[Iorimond, Duke of). THE M EDALLIC HISTORY OF THE UNITED ST ATES OF
AMERICA, 1776 - 1876. With 170 etchings by Jules Jacquemart. 2 volumes. 1878. New York. Folio, original
orange cloth, gilt, lxix, 478 pages in text volume. 86 finely engraved plates with tissue guards in the plate
volume. The covers on the text volume are heavily rubbed and worn; the cloth on the spine is broken in two
places. Because of the mass of the text volume, the joints are nearly broken. The covers on the text volume
are worn at the extremities, more heavily at the ends of the spine. The contents of each volume are most
attractive and absolutely clean and VF. (225.00)

C-S 15073*. One of the handsomest works ever produced pertaining to American numismatics. Jacquemart s plates were
printed on India paper and then mounted on thick hand - made paper especially produced for this work. Loubat was the
first author to systematically investigate medals of the United States. He indicated that by the time he undertook the
production of this work that most other countries already had "costly publications [about their national medallic
history], illustrated by elaborate engravings, with carefully prepared letter - press description and notes”. Records
indicate that this project cost Loubat a great deal of money, much more than he recovered from the sales of the book. Thus
he appears to have established a precedent for the vast majority of numismatic authors and publishers in this country

The "Introduction" is a riveting narrative about the challenges Loubat underwent in acquiring the necessary
Information to write this work. His account reveals a great deal about mint practices, engravers, and the early days of
numismatics in this country. The contents of the text volume contain biographical information and all pertinent documents
about each medal. There is an engraving of extraordinary quality for both the obverse and the reverse of each of the 86
medals. The engravings have such aesthetic medal that plate volumes are disbound, having the engravings mounted, framed,
and sold to collectors of engravings and fine art. This explains why often only the text volume appears This majestic
work is truly a centerpiece for a fine library of American numismatics .

The condition of the covers is not unusual due to the bulk of the contents. Because much of the original cloth covers
on each volume is clean, we would suggest that the talents of a skillful binder be utilized to bring the covers and the
joints up to the excellent condition of the contents.

945. THE MEDAL COLLECTOR. Official Publication of the Orders and Medals Society of America. 6 early

December 1951 (Vol. 2, no. 7), March and April 1952 (Volume 3, nos. 3 and 4), July 1952 (Volume 3, no. 7),
September/October and November/December 1952 (Volume 3, nos. 9/10 and 11/12). 4 other issues are included. These issues
are quite scarce.

946. THE MEDAL COLLECTOR BULLETIN. Official Publication of the Orders and Medals Society of America.

14 of the first 15 issues, the November 1954 issue is missing. 1954-1955. 8vo, self-covered. The first 11

C-S 668. Volume I, 1954 consists of 12 numbers in 10 issues from the January-March combined issue to December 1954.

The first three monthly issues of Volume 2, 1955 are present. These profusely illustrated issues cover US. and foreign
medals and decorations. As this aspect of numismatics has become increasingly popular, the demand for the scarce, early
issues of this journal has increased significantly. Most elusive.

THE SPECIAL HARDBOUND EDITION. While hardbound versions of the 1940, 167 page list, and the 1942 list in both blue

was not familiar with this hardbound edition. In fact, in Bourne s definitive listing of the Stack s FPLs in his 1989

VOLUME I, 1961 Is complete in 4 issues. Part of the margin by the binder holes of the first leaf of Volume I,
no. 1 is torn away; the leaf has been torn out of binder causing the marginal edges of the binder holes to be
missing; there is also a one inch tear extending from the margin diagonally inward on page 1. The remainder of
the issue is Fine. Volume I, number 2 has an outlined paper clip rust stain on the first and last page.

VOLUME II, 1962 is complete in 5 Issues.

VOLUME III, 1963 is complete in 4 issues.

VOLUME IV, 1964 is complete in 4 issues.

VOLUME V, 1965 has five issues. We do not believe that a sixth issue was issued for the year. The fifth issue
contains an excellent history of the early days of TAMS.

VOLUME VI, 1966 is complete in 5 issues.

Original copies of the early issues are decidedly scarce and rarely offered. Most who are trying to assemble a complete
set of the TAMS JOURNALS have had to settle for the reprints of the early Issues. Except as noted, these are nice, most
satisfactory copies. We believe that this is a complete set.

C-S 11975’. Although this is not primarily known as a large cent sale, there are some important large cents here.
This is perhaps the most elusive of all of the Stack s sales from the 1970 s especially in nice condition. This is most
important as these coins were the first part of the Garrett holdings to be offered at auction, three years prior to the
Bowers & Ruddy Garrett collection sales. Highlights: 53 lots of large cents most purchased from George Massaraore in 1883:
1793 wreath cent, S-llb, ex-Frossard 1884; important half cents; Gobrecht dollars; 200 proof gold coins from 1863 to

these catalogues which have been used for reference, it has become increasingly difficult to obtain nice copies of this
important sale,

THE POST-SALE EDITION WITH THE PRICES TYPESET BY EACH LOT This catalogue is scarce in the regular format. However,
few collectors are aware that a post-sale priced copy was even issued. Each of the superb coins is thoroughly described

"If our collections be the exponents of our tastes, those of Dr. Maris must be of a superior order, for rarely has so
fine a collection of American Numismatic gems been brought under the auctioneer’s hammer. As a sale this was the success
of the year, many prominent dealers and collectors being present, and consequently prices ruled very high." (Ed. Frossard,
NUMISMA, October 1, 1886. p. 8)

Although by size this catalogue was issued in large format (11.5 x 9 inches), the arrangement of the interior margins
clearly indicated that Smith made the necessary provisions for the numismatists who had this catalogue to have it
professionally bound and trimmed to the normal small format size. In all of Smith's previous catalogues the left margins
on the versos (the pages on the left side) were 3 centimeters wide with the left margins of the rectos (the pages on the
right side) being 2 centimeters wide. In this large format catalogue, the left margins on the versos (the left side page)
were also 3 centimeters wide. However, the left margins of the rectos (the right side page) were 8 centimeters wide. Also
in Smith s regular sales, the bottom margins were 4 centimeters. Thus the large edge and bottom margins would enable this
catalogue to be trimmed to small format size without it negatively affecting the contents or its appearance.

Therefore, although there presently are defects in the condition of this catalogue, this not only deserves to be
professionally trimmed and bound in a suitable binding, but it is also apparent that Smith originally provided for it to
be done. Subsequently, with a quality small format binding, and since most of the damage to the covers would be trimmed
away, this would become a most attractive Very Fine copy with the owner having the special benefit of possessing a priced
copy of a classic sale in American numismatic history.
